Improvement in reversible neckscarfs



UNITED STATES ADOLPH S. SARONI, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN REVERSIBLE NECKSCARFS'.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 37,2117, dated December23, 1862.

.To a/ZZ whom, it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, ADoLPH'S. SARoNI, of the city, county, land State ofNew York, have invented certain novel and useful improvements in theconstruction of scarfs to be worn upon the neck in lieu of a stock ornecktie; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which are lettered to correspond with and form a part of thisspecification.

In order that the public may be enabled to understand the nature of myinvention, and those skilled in the mechanic arts to construct the same,I will describe it, as follows:

Figure l is a front view of the scarf A, which forms a part of thetriangular card-board or top B of the scarf, which is secured to theshirt-collar by means of a loop or loops made of elastic or springymaterial-such as iiat spiral spring or elastic cord S--thereby beingheld firmly to the neck with ease and comfort to the wearer.

The top or card-board B is thoroughly coated with hatters sizing toprevent it becoming soft or otherwise affected by perspiration. Theelastic fastening or loop S is attached to the collar-piece ortriangular card-board near the lower end, as shown at e, Fig. l.

The scarf A is sewed to the upper edge of the card-board B, so thateither side may be worn in front by simply reversing the card andattaching the elastic loop to the button of the collar, as shown at Fig.l.

The board B is supplied with one or more elastic loops on each sidethereof, as shown at S, by which means I have a reversible scarf, whichmay be of gaudy colors on one side and plain black or any other color onthe other side.

The advantages of my reversible scarf are, that it has all theornamental quality of the stock or cravat without confining the neck,and may be quickly adjusted without the aid of a mirror; at the sametime it gives the appearance of a neat necktie without the inconvenienceof a bandage around the neck. Therefore, I

What I claim as novel and useful, and what I wish to secure by LettersPatent of the United States, is-

A reversible scarf provided with a neckpiece made of card-board, B, orany other suitable material, coated with hatters7 sizing and providedwith an elastic loop or loops, so that the scarf A is properly attachedto the collar either side out, at the same time presenting theappearance of a carefullyeadj usted cravat or necktie.

In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name in the presence of twowitnesses.

Witnesses: ADOLPH S. SARONI.
